OpenAI has officially shut down Sora — and the story behind its collapse reveals a lot about where AI video is headed. Addy and Joey break down why Sora never found its footing despite early buzz, what the dead Disney-OpenAI deal reveals about strategic miscalculations, and why OpenAI is now redirecting resources toward enterprise coding tools to compete with Anthropic's Claude. 

They also cover Epic Games' 1,000+ layoffs tied to slowing Fortnite revenue, the winding down of virtual production studio Pixamondo under Sony, Google's TurboQuant research paper on LLM compression, and a new Gemini feature that generates websites entirely on the fly.
